Jicama, Apple, and Pomegranate Salad with Raspberry Dijon Vinaigrette

February 6, 2015 by Faith 12 Comments

Jicama, Apple, and Pomegranate Salad with Raspberry-Dijon Vinaigrette

The other day we ordered sandwiches from a cute little local café.

It bears mentioning that they served my turkey wrap with extra onion without me even having to ask…and it’s not like they knew me (as the onion-loving weirdo I am) because it was my first time there! I felt like I won the onion lotto or something. (It’s the little things, lol.)

And then when I didn’t think my meal could get any better, they served my wrap with a yummy cabbage slaw that was bejeweled with pomegranate arils. One bite and I knew I had to make my own version at home.

Jicama is the star of the show in my Jicama, Apple, and Pomegranate Salad with Raspberry Dijon Vinaigrette. If you’re not familiar with this vegetable, it’s similar to a potato in appearance. It’s crunchy like an apple and slightly sweet and subtly nutty. I think jicama tastes almost like a cross between apple and water chestnut, with the starchiness of potato. It’s a pretty unique thing, definitely worth trying if you haven’t done so before!

This salad is fresh-tasting and full of flavor and texture. A splash of lime juice brightens up everything, and the walnuts (which you can toast or not) echo the slight nuttiness in jicama. And this happens to be the perfect use for my Raspberry Dijon Vinaigrette!

Jicama, Apple, and Pomegranate Salad with Raspberry Dijon Vinaigrette
Prep time:  15 mins
Total time:  15 mins
Yield: 6 servings
 
Ingredients
  • 1 medium (1¼ lbs/570 g) jicama, peeled and julienned
  • 1 large crisp apple (I used Empire), washed, cored, and julienned (not peeled)
  • 3 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup pomegranate arils
  • ½ cup Raspberry Dijon Vinaigrette
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ cup walnuts (toasted if you want)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
  1. Toss together the jicama, apple, scallion, pomegranate arils, vinaigrette, lime juice, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. Top with the walnuts and parsley.
  3. Serve immediately because both jicama and apple will turn brown as they oxidize.

    I love that this salad is full of so much crunch and bright flavor! Unusual for winter, but that’s exactly what makes it so lovely.

    Oh wow, this looks so good. I can just imagine the flavors. Pomegranate and raspberry are two of my favorite things, so this looks like a winner to me!

    A slaw-like salad bejeweled and bedazzled with pomegranate arils sounds amazing – and perfect to go along with any sando, wrap, burger, etc., etc., amen! Can you believe I’ve never in my life had jicama? Ugh, I need to try it out asap!

The other day Dan and I were at an antique store a The other day Dan and I were at an antique store and we happened to find one of the vendors who was putting out #vintage #valentinesday cards she had found in one of her storage units. 💌 These are from the 1930s/1940s! She was a third generation antique dealer and she said she still has several full rooms to sort through! (I love the treasure hunt of that, it’s like exploring in your grandparents’ attic.) Anyway, I had to buy a couple cards because they’re completely charming. #happyvalentinesday, lovelies. 🥰 #valentines #romantic #flatlay #valentinesmood #vintageprops #propstyling #propstylist #photography
#ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to mak #ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to make for your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day this weekend, you’ve come to the right place! This meal is easy, fast (no one will guess it whips up in less than 15 minutes!), and impressive. And soooo good. 🥰
 
What’s on the menu? Pan seared chicken in a savory cream sauce. Steamed green beans. And Fresh Blends Ready to Cook Idaho Potatoes!
 
Let’s talk sides first. Steamed green beans are easy, and they round out the meal well. Or you could go with broccoli if you want.
 
The real star of the side dish show are these flavorful @eagleeyeproduce potatoes! They’re family grown in Idaho. Fresh-cut, never cooked, never frozen, with no preservatives. And they cook up easily with a one-step cooking process (just 8 minutes in the microwave, or you can do them on the stovetop to get them crispy). Check out their website to find their store locator to see where they’re available near you --> https://eagleeyeproduce.com/store-locator/
 
And now the chicken! Inspired by the famous “Marry Me Chicken”, this recipe checks all the right boxes and has all the bells and whistles. Chicken cutlets cook up quick on the stovetop, and then a luscious cream sauce flavored with garlic, fresh herbs, and sundried tomatoes cooks in the same skillet. Take a look at the recipe in the comments below.
 
Who says a beautiful, romantic meal has to be complicated, right? ❤️
